Chapter 208: Promise the Barbarian King to make peace
Two days later, Zhao Shu and Guan Ping came to Wuling City again, still separated from two camps, Guan Ping at the north gate, and Zhao Shu at the west gate. Bayi? Wen? Net? ???.? 8?1?z? .? c o m In Wuling City, Shamoke was captured, and Lu Meng and Gao Ping were not known to Zhao Shu. However, the morale of the soldiers in the city was low, the flag was not in order, the defense was not repaired, and the Wuxi barbarians were greatly injured in the first battle of Lishui, and they were expected to be unable to resist Zhao Shu's Jingxiang army.
On the morning of the second day, Zhao Shu and Shamoke were under the city together, inspecting the city's defenses from afar. Zhao Shu pointed to the dejected barbarian soldiers in the city, and said to Shamoke: "General Sha, it seems that such a sergeant can resist my Han Heavenly Soldiers?" ”
Shamoke also knew that once he was captured, all the troops in Wuxi would be gone, like a piece of scattered sand, and he could not resist the offensive of Jingzhou's military horses no matter what, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he had to say: "I have only heard that you use virtue to convince people, and you use your strength to suppress you, and I, Wuxi Erlang, would rather die than give in." ”
Zhao Shu was very sad and angry when he heard his words, and said, "General Sha, why is this so painful? As long as the general is willing to submit to the king of Hanzhong, I promise to live in peace with your ministry and swear never to offend each other, how about it? ”
Shamoke snorted coldly and said, "Why does this king believe you? What's more, Mr. Ma is a guest of my clan, although this king does not read and write, but he also understands the righteousness between friends, and avenges Mr. Ma, this king has no return. ”
"What the general said is very true, the general is righteous for his friends, he can be called a righteous thin cloud, and his name will remain in history, and thousands of years later, when he mentions the general, he will stretch out his thumb and say 'true righteousness'." Zhao Shu looked at Shamoke's face with pride, and suddenly changed his words, and asked urgently: "What can these soldiers under the general leave behind?" They have parents, wives and children in their families, and if they die in battle, who will their families depend on? The general is for his own fame, regardless of the lives of thousands of soldiers. I am also unworthy of them. ”
Shamoke looked at Zhao Shu coldly, his expression was very complicated, a little resentful, and a little unwilling, and finally sighed and asked, "Can you promise not to hurt my people?" ”
Zhao Shu stretched out his hand to Huan Yi to ask for a feather arrow, which was folded into two, and said: "I, Zhao Shu, swear to form an alliance with your ministry forever, if King Sha has no intention of aggression, I will never kill one person and one rider of the Wuxi tribe, if there is a violation, it will be such an arrow." ”
Shamoke suddenly said, "And Mr. Ma and his friends." ”
Zhao Shu sighed and said with a wry smile: "The king still doesn't believe me? Mr. Ma, I will never cause the slightest harm, and as for the people you mentioned, they are definitely not friends of Mr. Ma. Zhao Shu kept talking about Lu Meng and Gao Ping's conspiracy in his ear for the past two days, but he had already preconceived, and even if Zhao Shu wore out his mouth, he was not moved at all.
Shamoke didn't listen to what Zhao Shu said, and said to himself: "After this king descends, let go of Wuling, and all the subordinates will retreat to Yiyang, and never commit it again." However, Mr. Ma stayed in the royal family to recuperate until ......" Speaking of Ma Liang, his expression suddenly darkened, and he was indeed a person who valued love and righteousness.
Shamoke has a deep misunderstanding of Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu doesn't expect him to help me deal with Lu Meng, as long as he doesn't help Lu Meng himself, Zhao Shu will be thankful. At that moment, Zhao Shu nodded and said, "As long as the king keeps his word, I will never embarrass your ministry." It's just Mr. Ma, I want to meet you anyway. Seeing that his face was very embarrassed, he said, "If the king is not at ease, what if I go with the king without soldiers and horses?" ”
Shamoke got along with Zhao Shu for a few days, knowing that Zhao Shu didn't know martial arts, even if he brought Huan Yi's protection, he didn't expect to be able to set off any big waves, so he nodded and agreed, and said: "This king will go to recruit his subordinates, I hope that Mr. will not lose his trust." As he spoke, he beat the horse and wanted to surrender to the city.
Guan Xing stopped in front of him and looked at Zhao Shu's meaning. Shamoko turned his head and said with a smile: "Don't believe in this king? ”
Although Shamoke seems to be a trustworthy husband, but Zhao Shu really doesn't dare to be gullible, if he repents, after getting out, he will enter the city and defend the city, the barbarian soldiers are poisoned and arrows are powerful, and how many soldiers will the Jingzhou army have to be killed and wounded? But now is the best time to subdue Shamoke's heart, Zhao Shu's mind flashed, and he immediately made up his mind to fight again, and waved his hand and said: "I believe that the king is a trustworthy person, so I am here waiting for the king's good news." ”
Shamoko snorted and said, "If you don't feel at ease, ask this general to go to the city with this king, and it will save you from worrying in your heart." ”
Zhao Shu originally had this meaning, but he was squeezed like this, and it was even more difficult to speak, so he had to smile faintly and said, "No need, the king please." ”
Shamoko bowed his hand slightly, then beat his horse and went down to the city, and faintly heard him say: "False." It made Zhao Shu cry and laugh, and now he only hopes that Huan Yi and others can successfully rescue Ma Liang, so that the true face of Lu Meng can be exposed.
This place is only a few arrows away from the city, and Shamoko rode away quickly, and arrived at the city in a moment. Zhao Shu saw the guards in the city cheering from afar, and after listening to him shout a few words, the city gate was opened, and dozens of cavalry groups surrounded him, each chanting. After a while, the shouting gradually stopped, and Shamoko said a few more words, and then he came with more than ten cavalry.
Zhao Shu saw Shamoke and the others approaching, but they didn't carry weapons, and he was very happy in his heart, knowing that this time the bet was right, he was a man who kept his promises, he could recover Wuling without blood, and he could also block Gong Zhi's chattering mouth. Zhao Shu personally stepped forward and said with a smile: "The king understands the righteousness and keeps his promise, Shu admires it." ”
Shamoke was indifferent, he was the leader of the Wuxi tribe, and it was not easy to agree to lead the troops to surrender, if he was not sympathetic to the life and death of the clan, he was afraid that he would not be able to kill him, so he only said to me coldly: "Mr. can be relieved now?" The king returned to the camp with his husband and reorganized his army and horses into the city. ”
"That's very good." Zhao Shu's hostility towards him at this time was greatly reduced, and he took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and asked, "The king, please." Although the other party did not have weapons in hand, Guan Xing did not dare to be careless, and with a wave of his hand, his cavalry surrounded the more than ten barbarians to monitor. He himself followed closely behind Zhao Shu in case of accidents.
Shamoke didn't think it was angry when he saw it, and said: "This king is a general of the defeated army, and he doesn't dare to compete for the first, so let's ask Mr." ”
Zhao Shu leaned sideways slightly to hold his reins and said with a smile: "Now the king is a guest of Shu, so he should be treated politely." How about you and I riding side by side? ”
"It's fine." Shamoke no longer shirked and walked side by side with Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu was also very relieved, and suddenly felt that this matter was so smooth, then Lu Meng and Gao Ping would definitely not be in the city, so he couldn't help but feel uneasy, and asked urgently: "Wang, can Mr. Ma's friend be in the city?" ”
